I picked up a second hand belt reduction today from an RAF. It has been in the hangar for a couple of years and someone has ripped off the belt and drive pulley to crank bolts and the drive pulley outer bearing, but both pulleys, backing plate and bearing brace, flywheel and starter are all there... so pretty happy
bloody heavy tho 
So, what is the best brand of belt for them and where do you guys get them? Another machine with the same drive has a belt on it, it is an 880 8M, I have heard thet Gates is the best belt to get? What are your opinions? Has anyone got any links to belt suppliers? I want to change the bearings on the driven and as I said, the outer drive pulley bearing has been removed....
Also, what sort of prop do they need? They have to have a special prop blades don't they? what are the best props for them with an EJ22?
The pic is another machine, not my drive.... but it is the same.... I will get some pics of mine tomorrow.
Only on one side, there is a bit of a notch happening , I would say the belt has not been adjusted properly and run maladjusted for a long, long time, it has pulled over the teeth on one side of the pulley? 
The gap in the driven pulley seems to have worn a dent in the belt and that has transferred to the drive pulley? Is there anywhere I can get another drive pulley? Do the guys in South Africa still make these things as a spare part? 
Unfortunately the belt has gone missing, so I cant see the state the belt was in.... I think if I tried to use this pulley, it will just wreck any new belt I put on it. Does anyone have one of these for sale? (or know where I can get one? 
Not a single comment?
